My new DIY speaker webpages are up.

[Jed]

Thought you guys might want to check it out. There's not much more there than what you can find here, but it is definitely more organized. I'll continue to add to it as I have more time:

Nice!

Wow that takes a lot of effort, designing speakers and doing a website about them .

Thanks TacoD and everyone for your compliments. It really wasn't that hard because a lot of the info came from my posts here. Cut and Paste is a beautiful thing.

Nice site Jed. I like how it's pretty easy on the eyes, organized, and very easy to navigate around. Ahh yes, copy and paste sure is a beautiful thing.

Great work, Jed!

Really nice page :T. I like the minimalistic theme.

It would be cool see some blog'ish type comments in future, Zaph style.

Very nice site Jed. Clean, simple, easy to find your way around.......

BUT!!!!!

No pictures of the Tombstones crossover in place. Either external or in the cabinet.

Looks good.

I'm getting there, Chuck. I'm going to take my time and get a really clean layout for all the parts. I was hoping to finish that last weekend, but I did some more listening of a broad selection of music to finalize a few things in the circuit. When you have drivers this accurate you hear every little change immediately.

I understand what you are saying. I was able to hear a difference in 1/2 of an ohm change in a resistor in the tweeter circuit of a project I am working on. Then this weekend I was able to hear the difference between 2 inch acoustic foam in a cabinet and acoustastuf being used. I did a blind test on my wife (former violin player) and she immediately said, "What did you change?". So I can understand if the xover is still in pieces/parts on the floor while you finalize.

Jed: nice work on the site!

Did the Acoustastuff sound better?

[chasw98]

Yes. I know it sounds like snake oil deluxe but it did. I did not believe myself, so I just asked my wife to listen to a song before we watched a movie. After less than 10 seconds she grinned and asked me what I did to the speakers. I told her all I did was stuff them with this stuff and showed her the info paper that came with the bag od acoustastuf. I had previously tried nothing, fiberglass, 2 inch foam, 1 inch foam, and then acoustastuf.

Nice site Jed; very user friendly! Looking forward to your blog.

I agree about the acoustastuff- especially for sealed applications. I'm using 75% fill in my Tombstone design and it cleaned up the midrange considerably and made the dipole to monopole transition less noticeable because there was less of a boxy sound in the monopole W26 application.

Nice site Jed; very user friendly! Looking forward to your blog.

Thank you Ray! -Jed

[Landspeeder]

That site is GREAT Jed! Good job

I can confirm Chuck's 90 year old ears. :B When we A/Bed the Stratus Golds with the TMWW, I thought the differences were minor but Chuck thought the differences were much greater than what I thought. I guess I am not the audiophile that I thought I was. 8O


Jed,
Do you want some constructive criticism? Well here it is anyway. I know you are trying to just throw up your own non-commercial site and this is a start, but I would like to see some improvements. Mark K's site is a good basic site that you could follow as a template. As it stands now. you have everything on one page. Putting your projects onto separate pages would be easier to navigate. If you are new to web design and find this a big learning curve, then check out allwebco's templates. I heavily modified one for my business site. I think I spent about two days playing with it. Of course, now I am going to get the criticism on my site. :rofl: Actually, I know my site needs to be updated, but I don't care that much. Anyway, good luck. :T

Hey thanks. I'll continue to refine my website as it grows. You are right about the first page. It's far too busy and I plan on incorporating some columns etc to plan the links a lot better. The beauty of googlepages is it is really easy and free. With that there may be some limitations.

Edit: Made some basic changes to the first page. Thanks for the suggestion.

Jed,
Looking better. Definitely going to be a good resource. I hate the idea of having to check more webpages to find stuff I'm interested in. But I think this will be good for the greater internet.

I like the colors and themes. One more constructive piece of criticisms, I'm not sure what is going on but the underlining on some of your pages is just dotted line, rather than solid underlines. It reminds me of misspelled words in Firefox, not a link. I don't know if that is just a theme thing. Also the Lineup page, the F4, R4, etc. links are so short, they don't stand out as links.

Thanks Ryan.. I'll see if there is anything I can do about those dotted underlines. I might have to change the links to a brighter color to offset them from the rest of the text more.

Don't take my webpage as another thing to check as I'll still be posting most stuff here- It's just nice to organize my work- that's all.

Jed

Edit: changed links to blue color to offset it from the rest.

Chasw98,
Did you try regular dacron pillow fill? Just curious about the performance difference between the two...not trying to start a war.

Jed,
It is probably just something I need to get used to. Not a big deal.
